“This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right,” she said after winning the case. “While this win is precedent setting, what matters most is that we are now collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel, and profits from the lies and pain that they create.”
